Ok an update, I think now I'm looking more at Brunel vs. QM...I'm interested in the Evolution aspect to Brunel's program...is there anyone with any familiarity with either one? I'd potentially be interested in doing both if there were some way of skipping the duplicate parts (statistics, methodologies, etc.) (I don't care if I only get one MSc out of it). Thanks

I was going to do a one-year MSc at LSE called Social and Cultural Psychology but just saw a MSC at Queen Mary in London called Cultural Psychology and Psychiatry...the latter seems more on-target for me but is Queen Mary a respected institution in the U.K.? (I may be returning to the United States, but perhaps not, as of today [July 1, 2021] the U.K. automatically gives two-year visas for people completing a master's in the U.K., without a confirmed job offer).

(I had been thinking of Psychology, Culture and Evolution at Brunel but a British person told me I would be much better going to LSE).

Thank you very much, that's a good idea.

I wanted to do a master's in the U.K. in psychology while volunteering part-time at a therapeutic community...however the communities don't sponsor charity worker visas and the two programs I'm most interested (Brunel and LSE, both have programs in cultural psychology) don't do the part-time sponsorship. Is there any way to make this work?

(I'd be working as a volunteer at the community and paying non-EU tuition so it seems strange that they make this so difficult, especially as the U.K. is supposedly experiencing a mental health crisis and fast-tracks licensed therapists [which I'm not] in terms of work visas).

Thanks in advance.
